Indeed, I doubt many, but these patches aren't academic. I'm working on a product which does use a touchpad in absolute mode. > either way, with these patches the cursor jumps back to 0/screen height > because the last four events sent by the device after releasing are > xmin/ymax, resetting the cursor.

I saw something like this too on my device, but since we're also working on the hardware I just fixed the firmware to not send an X,Y of 0,0 when BTN_TOUCH is 0. Do you see the xmin/ymax issue with evtest as well, or only through "xinput test"? >> I also have patches against the 1.2 branch -- this is the version that >> I am currently using -- so it'd be good those could get applied too. > > 1.2 won't get new features. it's kinda the point of a stable branch. Fair enough, I'll just patch it in.
